Public Access

The public server was connected to the router via ethernet (LAN), which wasn't really necessary as it had already been connected via Wi-Fi whilst being set up. Consequently the cable was removed. This also explained why I was seeing two records in the router for the same computer one for the LAN and one for Wi-FI

1. ~~Create a DNS~~ Used fasthosts DNS (ns1.livedns.co.uk etc. )
2. Set the A record for the domain [rogerlovejoy.uk] to that of the router :: 217.155.51.23
Router's automatically have port 80 open for http traffic
3. The server. ELFApache128] has been given a dedicated IP of 192.168.178.37 and named ElfApache128

Accessible
Publicly :: http://217.155.51.23 | http://rogerlovejoy.uk
Privately :: http://ElfApache128

As of 15th July 3 domains have been transferred to ElfApache128
lovejoy.org.uk
rogerlovejoy.uk
rogerlovejoy.co.uk

rogerlovejoy.uk is the default home page for the router and virtual hosts have to be established to access each separately from the domain names.

RE: lovejoy.org.uk

Although the DNS on Fasthosts was directed to the ElfServer early on 13th July there has been no proper update.

Just after 12pm (11GMT) I edited the website to show the DNS, which had changed.

At 12:30 the site at Krystal is no longer visible but the one on Elf is not.

13:50 Called Fasthosts and they have the new site, so it’s some UK propagation that is slow
14:00 Called Zen who passed the buck to Nominet, not sure about their involvement.
14:15 Called Nominet 01865332211 who affirmed they do not deal with DNS
20:00 After more calls no resolve via the FritzBox. Using the Plusnet ADSL and BT Hub3 there is no problem ??

July 14th
01:32 Still no joy
09:00 OK Both rogerlovejoy.uk and lovejoy.org.uk resolve to the ElfServer via browse on Raspberry and Fairphone and traceroute works fine.
10:54 Change DNS for rogerlovejoy.co.uk to ZenBox too.

July 16th
08:00 lovejoy.org.uk, rogerlovejoy.uk and rogerlovejoy.co.uk resolve to ElfServer

It has taken 48hrs on average for the names to resolve ??
